From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 153 The Myriad Laws Spiritual Eye, Forged Through a Thousand Trials

Worldly first class!
Inheritance of supernatural powers?
Li Qingqiu was drawn to the notification that suddenly popped up in front of him. He remembered that he had evaluated Qingxiao Sect when he first opened the Daoist Sect panel. At that time, Qingxiao Sect was ranked as an inferior sect.

Now that they have reached the first tier of secular society, it shows that although Qingxiao Sect is strong, it has not yet transcended the secular world.

Li Qingqiu brought up the Daoist lineage panel and found the words "[Number of times you can receive divine power inheritance: 0]" at the bottom of the panel.

Simply activating the mechanism doesn't automatically grant you supernatural rewards.
Li Qingqiu felt a little regretful, but he had already gotten used to the rules of the Daoist panel, so having one more thing to look forward to was not bad.

Most importantly, he now has two chances to choose his destiny, and it's time to use one of them.

Use it sooner and enjoy it sooner; you only need to reserve one chance to wait.

Seeing that Yuanli and Jiya had already begun practicing, Li Qingqiu walked to the side, sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, with his back to his three disciples.

He brought up the Daoist lineage panel and began to examine the disciples' individual panels, searching for suitable destinies.

……

As the year draws to a close, more and more disciples are returning from secular life, all preparing for a good new year.

Li Qingqiu sat cross-legged in his cave, reviewing the new disciples' profiles.

Unfortunately, he never found a destiny that truly satisfied him; his standards had been raised by those with the "Human Gods and Demons" and the "Hundred Refined Demonic Body."

Even with Li Yang's dragon soul protecting him and Yang Xuan's Heart of Heaven and Earth, he didn't particularly want them.

Just then, Yuan Qi's voice came from outside the cave:

"Sect Master, a group of people have come down from the mountain. They say you sent them. They are from Pancheng, and the leader is named Bo Zhao."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu immediately replied, "Bring them to Lingxiao Courtyard."

"Yes!"

After Yuan Qi's footsteps faded into the distance, Li Qingqiu regretfully closed the Daoist Sect panel and stood up. Today's new disciples still did not have any special destinies.

He was anxious because he had two chances to choose his destiny but couldn't use them.

He focused his attention on Bo Zhao, recalling his memories of the past as he walked out of the cave.

When he went to Wushen Pass, he stayed in Pancheng for a while and took the opportunity to slaughter the evil Cui family in the area. Before leaving, he promised a young yamen runner that if the children who had been captured by the Cui family had nowhere to go, he could send them to Qingxiao Sect.

The young constable was named Bo Zhao.

Two years had passed, and he had almost forgotten about it, but unexpectedly Bo Zhao came.

They must have encountered some trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have waited so long to come.

Li Qingqiu arrived at Lingxiao Courtyard and waited. He was the only one in the courtyard. He picked up a broom and began to sweep the snow. Although he could use his spiritual energy to clear the snow, he preferred to sweep slowly like this, as it allowed him to calm his mind.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yuan Qi led a group of people in.

Li Qingqiu turned his head and saw Bo Zhao. He had grown taller and more robust than before, but he had stubble on his lip and looked a bit weathered.

Beside Bo Zhao was a female disciple of Qingxiao Sect, followed by two yamen runners from Pancheng, dressed in tattered yamen runner uniforms, and behind them were eight young girls, dressed in dirty and worn clothes, all of whom looked very nervous.

When Bo Zhao saw Li Qingqiu, his eyes immediately reddened. The two constables also remembered Li Qingqiu and were equally excited.

"Sect Leader Li, I've brought them here to seek refuge with you." Bo Zhao knelt down before Li Qingqiu and said in a deep voice.

"What are you doing?" Li Qingqiu asked, looking at him in surprise.

Bo Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "I failed in my duty; four young women died along the way..."

Upon hearing his words, the two constables also felt ashamed, and the expressions of the eight girls also dimmed.

Li Qingqiu looked at the female disciple who had followed them and said, "Your name is Ding Xuan, right? You're with them, do you perhaps know what they went through?"

The woman named Ding Xuan looked to be in her early twenties. She had fair skin, and her long hair was tied back with a hairpin, revealing her delicate face. Her eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, and her chin was pointed, giving her an impression of being aloof.

When she heard the sect leader say her name, she was clearly excited and quickly bowed to Li Qingqiu.

"I met them in Dongling Prefecture. They were being intercepted by a group of bandits. I helped them out, and Bo Zhao, seeing my extraordinary skills, asked which sect I belonged to. I didn't hide anything. When he heard that I came from Qingxiao Sect, he told me about his agreement with you. So I escorted them back. Before they met me, they must have encountered a lot of trouble. Now, the area down the mountain is in chaos. It must have been very difficult for them to come all the way from the border of Zhongtian Prefecture."

Ding Xuan spoke quickly, her tone calm and devoid of much emotion.

After hearing this, Li Qingqiu looked at Bo Zhao and asked, "Since you've come to Qingxiao Sect, then stay. From now on, you'll all be disciples of Qingxiao Sect. Have you made any enemies or grudges along the way?"

Bo Zhao gritted his teeth, unsure whether he should speak.

A tall, burly constable stepped forward and said, “We’ve encountered so much trouble on our journey. The most hateful one is the Fang family of Zhuolu County in Dongling Prefecture. They pretended to sympathize with us and took us in, but their second young master, while drunk, raped one of our girls, forcing her to jump into a well. When we went to the Fang family to reason with them, they drove us out of their residence. Bo Zhao was almost beaten to death by them. We had to kneel and beg them before they would let us go…”

When the matter was brought up, another constable's face also showed anger, and the eyes of the eight girls were filled with hatred.

Li Qingqiu said, "I understand. I will make the Fang family pay for their blood debt. Do you hate me for not bringing you here personally back then?"

Upon hearing this, the two constables and the eight girls immediately spoke up.

"How could we hate you? If it weren't for you, we would have died in the Cui family mansion."

"Yes, Sect Leader Li, we have all heard of your deeds. You killed the emperor with your own hands, which was to rid the world of evil. If we follow you, we will definitely delay your work."

“You are our savior, how could we ask for so much? Before we left Pancheng, we were already mentally prepared that rather than lingering in the city, we would rather come to find you.”

"Why do we hate you? Blame it on the fact that the three of us are not good at martial arts..." Hearing their words, Li Qingqiu sighed. In fact, he had the ability to bring these girls back, but he was concerned about Wu Man'er, so he did not do so. Of course, another reason was that he found it troublesome and felt that he had no obligation to do so much.

Hearing about their ordeal, Li Qingqiu felt somewhat guilty.

With his abilities, he could save many, many people, but doing so would mean sacrificing his own time for spiritual practice. He has already adjusted his mindset and will not add too much burden to himself.

"Qi'er, take them down and settle them in. Everyone will become an outer disciple," Li Qingqiu instructed.

Yuan Qi immediately accepted the order and then led Bo Zhao and the others down the mountain.

Bo Zhao didn't say anything more after kneeling down, and he was clearly in a heavy mood.

Ding Xuan turned and followed them away, but was stopped by Li Qingqiu and left alone.

Li Qingqiu was very satisfied with Ding Xuan's chivalrous behavior, praised her, and allowed her to go to the fourth floor of the Sutra Pavilion to choose a secret manual. Yuan Qi would personally take her there.

"Sect Master, you don't need to do this. Before I came to the mountain, I was wandering with my parents. We encountered a local bully who tried to kidnap me. Elder Li Sifeng led people to rescue me and my family. I was just upholding the chivalrous spirit of Qingxiao Sect. This is what I should do."

Ding Xuan spoke earnestly, her eyes resolute. Though a woman, she possessed a spirit that rivaled any man's.

Li Qingqiu laughed and said, "Go if I tell you to. Only when you become stronger can you save more people."

Before Ding Xuan could say anything more, Li Qingqiu turned and walked towards the cave.

Seeing this, Ding Xuan took a deep breath, bowed to Li Qingqiu, and then turned and left.

After returning to his cave, Li Qingqiu resumed his cultivation.

After sitting for a while, he couldn't help but wonder if any of the people like Bo Zhao had a special destiny.
As the saying goes, those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune in the future.

Coming from Pancheng to Qingxiao Mountain is like walking the journey to the West; perhaps some of you are destined for greatness.

He began waiting for Bo Zhao and others to join the sect.

Yuan Qi was very efficient; in less than half an hour, the portraits of Bo Zhao and others appeared in the Daoist panel.

Bo Zhao's aptitude for cultivation is mediocre, his comprehension is subpar, and his destiny only has the attribute of "courage," which does not help his cultivation.

Li Qingqiu was somewhat disappointed, but continued reading.

The other two constables were not particularly special.

Next up are the eight girls.

From everyone's perspective, let alone having a special destiny, their aptitude and comprehension are not even mediocre.

When Li Qingqiu saw the seventh girl's personal panel, his eyes lit up.

Name: Yun Cai

【Gender: Female】

[Age: 16 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 92/65 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Mediocre]

[Destiny: All-Seeing Eyes, Forged Through a Thousand Trials]

【Myriad Laws Spiritual Eye: An ancient extraordinary eye that can see through a cultivator's bones, meridians, and soul, and can see through the flaws in an opponent's spells. Upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, it can give birth to an innate divine power】

[Refined through countless trials: By persevering in the practice of any spell, supernatural power, or secret technique, one will eventually comprehend it and reach a higher level of application.]

……

Two special destinies!
Moreover, they are all destiny types related to cultivation and combat!
What a seedling!

Li Qingqiu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the clouds.

He felt that both of these special destinies could be replicated; the [Myriad Laws Spirit Eye] could be used in battle, and the [Thousand Refinements] could make his spells stronger.

So far, Li Qingqiu has only truly mastered the Taijue Sword Control Technique, but it's not just him; Jiang Zhaoxia also knows it, and her skill level is no lower than his.

If he were to obtain the [Refined Through a Thousand Hammers] destiny, wouldn't he be able to cultivate any spell to an extremely high level and become a true grandmaster?
He decided to use one of his chances to choose his destiny on Yun Cai.

As for which one, we'll have to think about it some more.

Yun Cai's cultivation aptitude is excellent, which is enough for Li Qingqiu to focus on cultivating her.

Which class would be better to assign it to?

Forget it, it's better to keep him by my side. If such a genius is placed in the next martial arts tournament, he will surely make a name for himself and may even win first place, shocking the entire sect.

Okay, that's fine!

We will quietly nurture her, and then let her emerge into the world to demonstrate the sect leader's teaching ability and vision!
